ADRIFT 5 release 26 is now available for download. There are two Windows downloads available. If you have not tried v5 yet, the easiest way is to download the full setup from http://www.adrift.co/files/ADRIFT5Setup.zip. If you already have a working version, you can download the files only version from http://www.adrift.co/files/ADRIFT5.zip and overwrite your existing files. (I'll try to get an auto-update working soon!) There is also a Linux version available from http://www.adrift.co/files/adrift-5.0.26.tar.gz. Please note that the Setup download from download.com may take a few days to update with the latest version, so you may want to use the mirror link.

Hmm. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think I might just remove it.

I am having problems also with the Inventory command. At the start of my adventure "The Axe of Kolt" when you type in "i" you get the expected response, i.e. "You are wearing some clothes, and are carrying nothing.". However, after playing through the game with a macro and acquiring a few items - including a pouch with some coins in it - when I type "i" I get error messages followed by my inventory, like this:

Damn, sorry. I must have made the inventory change before the Object Oriented change. For now, if you edit the Inventory task in the standard library (Tasks - Uncategorised folder) and delete the "Items inside worn/held" tab from the description, it should resolve. You may want to do that anyway, depending whether you want to have items within items held/worn listed.

I'll get a patch out in the next day or so which resolves the immediate problems from this release.

Thanks. I have done that now and it is great that the Inventory command no longer shows objects within the containers you are carrying!
